5.0 out of 5 starsAffordable non-toxic bed from a great company
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2016
I searched endlessly for a affordable non-toxic mattress for my 2.5 year old's first big boy bed. He had a Lullaby Earth mattress by Naturepedic for his crib mattress, and it felt weird switching him from a non-toxic mattress to a conventional one with fire retardants. I wasn't as focused on the mattress being organic as I was it being free of chemical flame retardants and polyurethane foam. I was SHOCKED at how expensive these mattresses could be. The first bed I considered was a Naturepedic. While it was a lot more affordable than most other non-toxic beds, it was still at least triple the price of a conventional mattress. I searched for other alternatives and that's when I found "My Green Mattress." After a lot of deliberating (I can't make decisions), I pulled the trigger and went with My Green Mattress. First I ordered a twin, but decided I wanted to go with a full instead. I contacted the company via email and they were GREAT! So helpful. I ended up calling the store in IL, and the owner picked up the phone and helped me himself. Overall, I was very impressed with their customer service. I feel good that I purchased a bed for my son that is non-toxic and made by a small US based business.
To address some "concerns" that others have raised regarding the mattress:
It arrives roll packed. This did not damage the mattress in any way, and it was super easy to unpack.
Our mattress had absolutely no smell upon unpacking. If you stuck your nose directly in the mattress, you might be able to smell the cotton. But this mattress definitely does not "smell."
Yes, the mattress is firm. But it is still very comfortable. My son loves it and I can sleep on it no problem.
I full heartedly recommend this mattress, and plan on purchasing another once my second son moves into a big boy bed.
Update: My son's bed is still just as good as the day we purchased it. I was looking to buy a twin sized mattress to go into the top of the bunk bed we just bought him, but am a little disappointed that the price of a twin has gone up $60 since we last purchased from the company.
